Handvo (Pan & Baked Version)

Handvo or Handva is a famous and traditional Gujarati savoury cake that is made of mixed dals and rice where rice n dals are ground and fermented and mixed with spices. It is either baked or just cooked in a pan. I prefer baking as it comes out nice and soft like a cake and done in one shot instead of cooking multiple handvos in pan. It is very healthy and a warehouse of protein.

Nowadays readymade handvo flour is available in markets and just it needs some curd and veggies and pop into oven. But homemade is always special and fresh.
